I love this shifter. It feels so much better then the original. However, I cannot take the credit for the install. Hobi, the electrical genius that he is, took charge and did the install. If you have any electrical questions on this car, he is the man to ask.


It looks really nice.. I can't wait to get it on my car...

It's a VERY simple mod, actually.

It costs $90,000 and it comes with a new M5 already attached to it.

Yes. Cut/Saw 1 inch of the trunk/stick and re-weld it. This takes some some works.
